The occupation that I am interested in pursuing is being a Pharmacist. In my study's I have learned that being a Pharmacist has a great deal of commitment. The most interesting to me is that giving up the sport I love to play (baseball). All the Pharmaceutical colleges have no sports what so ever.
What is required in becoming a Pharmacist is first you must obtain a license to practice pharmacy. To with hold a license you must serve an internship under a licensed pharmacist, graduate from an accredited college of pharmacy, and pass a state examination. To receive the degree of Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) requires 6 years of post secondary study and passing the licensure examination of a State board of pharmacy. Areas of graduate study include pharmaceutics and pharmaceutical chemistry (physical and chemical properties of drugs and dosage forms), pharmacology (effects of drugs on the body), and pharmacy administration. .

A typical day for a Pharmacist first starts his day off at 9 in the morning and they usually don't close until 5 in the afternoon. Through out the day he is finding out what his patients are allergic to and finding when they need them by. Once he is done reading his emails and messages left on the phone by patients, then he goes off to making sure that each prescription is perfect.
